Lemon Blueberry Granola

Chocolate is my love language, so I always gravitate toward recipes with chocolate rather than fruit-based recipes. But there are so many delicious fruit flavors and combinations, and this lemon blueberry granola from Two Peas & Their Pod captured my attention. I'm so glad it did because this is a new family favorite. It's tart, yet sweet. Lemon and blueberry were meant to be together, and this granola makes the magic happen.

Lemon Blueberry Granola
2 1/2 cups oats

1 cup unsweetened coconut

1 cup chopped almonds

2 Tbsp. brown sugar

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled

Zest of 2 lemons

2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

1 cup dried blueberries

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, almonds and salt. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and the liquid ingredients and the zest. Pour liquid mixture over oats, and stir to evenly coat. 

Spread on baking sheet, and bake 30 minutes, stirring halfway. Granola is done when lightly golden. Cool completely before adding dried blueberries. Makes about 5 cups.
